Cyberattack forces UT San Antonio to delay start of fall semester

UT San Antonio delayed fall semester start by three days after a weekend cyberattack was caught at the network edge before core systems.

The University of Texas at San Antonio, which serves more than 42,000 students, moved its fall semester start from August 19 to August 24 after a weekend cyberattack on its academic network. Officials said the intrusion attempt was caught at the edge of the network before reaching core systems and that no evidence of data theft has been found. The university took systems and services offline for review, causing phone system outages and password reset tool delays. The incident follows the Instructure Canvas breach during spring finals week that exposed data tied to millions of students and staff worldwide.

University of Texas forced to take systems offline in San Antonio after cyberattack

University of Texas at San Antonio took phones and other systems offline after detecting threat activity, with no evidence of data theft.

The University of Texas at San Antonio, which serves 40,000 students across six campuses, detected threat activity at the edge of its academic network over the weekend and took systems including phones offline. Its CTO said the activity was contained before reaching core systems and that the investigation found no evidence of data access or exfiltration. Mandatory password resets for students and teachers were ordered but delayed, and the student payment deadline was extended to Friday as classes begin Wednesday. No hacking group has claimed credit, and universities are frequently targeted around academic calendar transitions.
